    You should unbolt the jockey wheel and swap it to the other side, that way you can still use the tap

      Good tip!!! We actually ended up doing that more recently and it’s so much better. 👌🏼

    It’s actually not a bad set up, few little things that the manufacturer could improve with your feedback, full width pantry on kitchen side would be handy, sliders look ugly hanging so low , bedroom possibly needs tie down ropes for windy nights, electric jack on drawbar

    • @lilandjake

    Omg lil!!!! When you were talking about the most spectacular thing and you went to the terrible door handle with the glow light my heart literally stopped. For me in our search for our caravan the ONE AND ONLY THING that made me say in a loud voice, turn and walk away with threats of ….. I will just have it removed. I will cut it off myself!!!! was those BEEPING UGLY DOOR HANDLES!!!! 😫😫😤😤🤯🤯 I just can’t
    It was the first thing that has come up that I felt we couldn’t be best friends anymore Lolol
    I was laugh so much when thank god you said you think it’s so ugly hahahahaha
    Love what you have done with the black upgrades. Looks so good. Can’t wait to see what you have done to the inside. That big storm we were on the edge of our seats. Wowzer about the bedroom door 😮

    nice van guys love the kitchen setup ours is a pull out one ,but we make it work .and that cover on the van is a pain to keep clean but they look great on and if you ever wanted to give it a show room shine ,spray tyre shine on it leave on for 10mins then wipe off , the down side its gunner love dirt roads 😁 but if you ever sell it that maybe a selling point, ha-ha

    With regards to the damage to the bed area what holds the roof down. Does it have latches/ slide bolts on the side panels or just gravity holding it down..

      Hey Judy, the door has latches but the wind was recorded at 150km/h, it was the most intense we have ever been in. 😅😅

      Have you tried contacting your van dealer? Or you may just have to bit the bullet and buy a new jockey wheel. Don’t think you can buy only a handle. Manufacturers want consumers to spend money on whole products these days!!🤷🏼‍♂️
